Senior Member nobuzz4me Posted November 19, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted November 19, 2007 Hey all, I posted this on the another thread regarding curly new hair. One reason for curly new hair (mishandling grafts, crushed while planting)brought to my attention the need for quality techs. We all know they are a huge part of the success of the HT. Anyway, here is my post: "Maybe this is a thought for another thread but: Just before my last HT, I asked my Doc if it was OK to "tip" the techs. He said it was not neccesary but my feeling was that they would give those grafts of mine extra care!! Top clinics have top techs I am sure. I feel that there are some top techs out there who should be recognized somehow. Perhaps each Doctor in the coalition could nominate one from each office. Might be good motivation for all techs to step up their game. What do you all think??" NoBuzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill - Seemiller Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 The technicians are an extremely part of the overall hair transplant process. They should be commended for the quality work that they do and certainly they should be paid well. From my understanding, they are as they rightfully should be! I suppose I never considered tipping the technicians however, I can't imagine with all that is at stake that it would encourage them to do a better quality job. But I'm sure they would appreciate it and it is a nice thing to do! Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Arrie Posted November 19, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted November 19, 2007 I second the vote for Janna. I have bothered that poor woman so much, she has taken it all in stride and has been more than helpful and so so nice... You only live once...

Senior Member TheHairLossCure Posted November 19, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted November 19, 2007 It is pretty darn nice if you "tip" the techs with some sweet treats or whatever. Sometimes doctors are glorified and the techs really do not get recognized for the hard work they do. I think a patient is going to get the same level of care (at a good clinic) whether he treats the techs or not. That said, the assistants are definitely not going to perform worse because of your kind gesture. So, every little bit helps I guess Notice: I am an employee of Dr. Paul Rose who is recommended on this community. I am not a doctor. My opinions are not necessarily those of Dr. Rose.

Senior Member EmuSteve Posted November 19, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted November 19, 2007 Since Janna has already been seconded, I guess I'll just throw another vote her way. =) -Steve I don't work for a doctor.

Senior Member Glock08 Posted November 19, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted November 19, 2007 She has my vote too. Janna is a sincerely compassionate individual dedicated to her profession. When I first had my HT, I had a lot of questions and concerns (as most people do), and wanted an unbiased opinion. Janna to the rescue!...Not only did she answer my countless e-mails, but gave me her number so we could converse by phone. Even though I did not have my HT through her clinic, and she had nothing to gain, she did not hesitate to help me or answer my questions "???or listen to my whining, when I was in the 5-6 month doldrums. The Shapiro Medical Group should be proud and feel fortunate to have the likes of Janna as an ambassador representing their good name.

Senior Member NervousNelly Posted November 19, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted November 19, 2007 What more can be said of Janna. For those that don't know her or have not had the opportuniy to meet with her she really is a special person. Yes she would get my vote. Bspot would have to be at the top of the list for best clinic employee right with Jotronic. I think that having them duke it out for top honor would be only fair.--no pulling hair.

Senior Member the B spot Posted November 20, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted November 20, 2007 LOL Fella's-- I AM from Chicago Heights, IL, right? Seriously though, while I appreciate the nomination, it is no contest. Joe's got me by a mile... so has Spex, for that matter. BUT, if we were to settle this on the golf course...well.... let's just say..I think I might have an edge Later, Jason Go Cubs! 6721 transplanted grafts 13,906 hairs Performed by Dr. Ron Shapiro Dr. Ron Shapiro and Dr. Paul Shapiro are members of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians.
